Re: GPL & N3 Lock ups.

I go thru the task manager to shut down everything but Explorer, Systray, nukenaber, my firewall, and the MS wheel driver thingy. It was working great and now it's locking up after like 10 laps or so. I've dropped the cpu down to 650 to see if that affects it. Only thing new is the aitweaker. I don't think it should affect that but it did start right after I tweaked the AI a bit with it. Sounds like a coincidence though. Steve-S On Sat, 27 May 2000 08:36:50 GMT, [email hidden] wrote:

I'm once again having problems with my system locking up in GPL (game keeps going and car eventually wrecks. Sounds & FF tell me this.) and N3 (everything locks up. Sound stays steady with sound that was playing when the lockup occurs. GPL I can re-boot. N3 I have to power down.

Make sure you have nothing running in background. And no screen saver, no power management on disk and no virus scan or other scheduled task. And if you have MS Find Fast, turn it off or dump it. In article <[email hidden]>, Steve Sarlls <[email hidden]> wrote:

Those sypmtoms suggest to me that the vid card is overheating. Set your cpu back to default and see if it still happens. If you are running a 550 @ 800mhz then you are using a FSB of 145/6. Does your mb have an agp divider of half? If it doesn't you are running it very high at a 2/3 divider. -- Nos

I was using the default bios setting for 800 Mhz at 100fsb. I set it back down to 550 and it seemed to work ok one time. I then set it to 600 and it locked up again. I haven't tested this extensively yet so not sure if it's just a fluke or not. It used to work just fine. Then all of a sudden the problem started out of, seemingly, nowhere. Thanks for the advice.
